The envelope

As requested here are pictures of my L/11 with an envelope. I have been told by Macus H (he is writing a book on cases and envelopes) that he knows of only 5 in collections.

Last, my Schinkels, Round 3s, and Obergrosse.

I separated my EKI spanges to get more space to display them properly.

Next is the Spange collection

The L/10 SB

Starting last year I started specializing my collection of EKs. In this collection that follows is EKI screwbacks (still missing a couple), EKI/EKII spanges (first an second model), Round 3, Schinkels, Obergrosse. I had a lot of help from friends that I made in other forums putting this together. I am now waiting the arrival of an EKI Schinkel screwback by Deumer with clamshell screw. First up is my screwback collection, which does not show my L/10 that I acquired after this picture was taken.

My EKI L/11 with a very rare envelope.

I have a WWII EKI screwback made by L/19 originally with pen back and then converted to screwback with the same style nut. On mine you can see where the pin was located. Also, L/19 never made screwbacks. Jim

Just received this Schinkel EKI screwback (magnetic) today to add to my collection. Does anyone know who made it? I thought it could be a Deumer, but comparing it with one I already have, I don't think so as the "9" are different.

It is okay also, the "S" is one of 26 different marks that was used by L/59.

As requested, pictures of the medal bars.

I am busy packing my things to return to the U.S. and thought I would take a picture of my EK collection, which includes EKI cased and Screwbacks, EKIIs, Schinkels, Round 3, and EKI and EKII spanges and other related EK items. In this collection I have a rare EKI envelope by Deumer (I was told that there are only five known). The cased EKII are marked L/11 both on box and cross. Jim

Hi Milan I was posted in Belgrade from 93 - 95 and bought a lot of items from Serbia. These are the only things that I have left. Like I said it will be a couple of years before I have them in hand.

Yes, I had it posted on another forum and that was the response I received there.

Hi John, Thanks for the information, outstanding actually. No there is no clue, but then I haven't removed the backing off of the picture frame to see if there is anything on the back of the picture. I bought this when I was posted in Berlin two years ago. Thanks again Jim

HI Eric, Had to wait to get answers, but they said that this is common among zinc badges. Am still waiting on other replies. Thanks Jim

Hi Eric, This badge is being included in a book on flak badges being written by Flak88. He ID it for me when I bought the badge. Jim

Close-up of writing.

Didn't know where else to post and this looked like the forum. This picture frame contains the picture of Boelcke who was the commander of the Red Baron (or so I was told).

Back

This is another rare bird. It is a Luftwaffe Flak Badge with hollow back, unmarked (made by Hobacher). Sadly it is missing its pin but the rest of it is there. As usual all comments are welcome.

HI Befehl227 Thanks for the information, and currently no. They are all in storage and I will not see them for another two years. Jim
